Got my Christmas ADRs! (? about dining with 13)

[donovan5]

Very pumped to have gotten our Christmas trip nailed down (er, except for calling July 2 for the CP package) ...

12/22 Le Cellier
12/23 Sci-Fi
12/24 Crystal Palace
12/25 Hollywood and Vine lunch

Now my question: We're a party of 13, 9 adults and 4 kids younger than 6.
I was in such a rush to make my ADRs that I didn't really care if we were all sitting together, and we're not. We got a 6/4/4 configuration at each of our places, but since we're first at H&V we should be able to sit together.

So how hard would it have been to push to sit together in such a large group?? My other consideration is that we may NOT WANT to all sit together come time for dinner anyway (plus, with a party of 13, meals might take FOREVER, and with the little ones ....)

I have gone with large parties (10+). If you show up a bit early for your ADR morre than likely they will seat you together or as close as possible. We were always at the same table or right next to each other.

H&V has a bunch of small tables. In April, we were a party of eight and got split up between two tables--which they told us they would do when we made the ressies. The tables were next to one another. It may seem like it would have been easy to push some tables together, but with the configuration of the aisles and so forth, it couldnt be done. Our two tables were against the wall with the four chairs on the table side perpendicular to the walls. If we pushed them together we would have been out the 4 seats where the tables met, and if we pulled them away from the walls we would have been in the already tight aisle. Some restaurants were more accommodating--CRT and Chef Mickey's, but others were true to their word and split us up.
